Mechanism of action of paracetamol pdf

In pharmacology, the term mechanism of action (MOA) refers to the specific biochemical interaction through which a drug substance produces its pharmacological effect. A mechanism of action usually includes mention of the specific molecular targets to which the drug binds The painkiller paracetamol is called acetaminophen in the USA. Our medical professionals explain what you can use paracetamol for, how it works and Despite its widespread use for more than 100 years, we still don't fully understand the exact mechanism of paracetamol in relieving pain and fever.
